Keren Akphagher: The Quest for Justice [Documentary] 2022 - Amnesty International Nigeria
14-year-old Karen-Happuch Aondodoo Akpagher, a student of Premier Academy, Lugbe, Abuja, was allegedly raped in her school. She died from complications resulting from the rape a few days later on 22 June 2021.
In Nigeria, women and girls are often at risk of violence. Nigeria’s Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, during the launch of the national sex offenders registry in November 2019, estimated that every year two million women and girls are sexually assaulted in the country. However, only a limited number of those assaults are reported. And when they are reported, too many cases of rape or femicide go unpunished. Perpetrators often escape justice or are not prosecuted. Reporting to the police as well as accessing health care, legal aid, or counseling remain extremely difficult for gender-based violence survivors in many states in Nigeria. It’s an issue that needs to be urgently dealt with.
